"Shaping the Presence, Forming the Absence"

When: Thu., Feb. 4, 5-7 p.m. and Feb. 5-March 10, 9 a.m.-10 p.m. 2016

For this exhibition, New York-based artist Jaye Rhee shows her four-channel video installation The Flesh and the Book, which addresses the intersections between performance, video and sound. Casting original dancers from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Rhee renders the human body as minimalist shapes that convey an improvisational selection of "notes" within a musical composition co-created with Elliott Sharp. As in many of Rheeʼs works, at the heart of The Flesh and the Book lies an irreconcilable tension; here it exists between physical dance and musical notes.
